Teatime Thursday: Code Purple

Fact: There are more than 225 million cases of Malaria reported each year worldwide.

This life-threatening disease is caused by parasites that are transmitted to people through bites of infected mosquitoes.

ING Activewear created MOSKEETO ARMOR™, a fabric that is mosquito repellent and has the potential to save millions of lives around the world.

ING and Touch the World (TTW) have teamed up with top fashion designers, and will launch this product internationally through the Code Purple Event as part of Mercedes Benz Fashion Week in NYC on February 16th. This life changing technology has initiated an international campaign against Malaria, and has already begun to be distributed to people in Africa in the form of these stylish sweatshirts.
